Waterproof DC-DC Boost Converter Die-Cast Aluminum Step-Up Module, 5–60V Input, 6–80V Output, up to 500W copy

Overview

The EpevsPower Y Series is a family of waterproof DC-DC boost converters that step a low battery or bus voltage up to a higher, stable voltage — for example 12 V to 24 V, or 24 V to 48 V. Five die-cast aluminum housings cover 120 W to 500 W and up to 20 A output, with input from 5 V to 60 V and fixed outputs from 6 V to 80 V. The one-piece aluminum shell is strong, compact and conducts heat away fast through fins on three sides. Fully potted and rated IP67, it is built for high-load onboard power supplies and industrial equipment.

What Is a DC-DC Boost Converter?

A DC-DC boost converter is a switching power module that raises a lower DC voltage to a higher, regulated DC voltage — for example 12 V to 24 V or 24 V to 48 V. It stores energy in an inductor and releases it at a higher voltage, so it can run 24 V or 48 V equipment from a 12 V or 24 V battery. Modern boost converters reach 92–95% efficiency.

Y Series Key Features

• Wide input up to 60 V, output up to 80 V — 5 V, 12 V and 24 V input classes.
• Up to 500 W and 20 A output — enough for pumps, compressors, motors and amplifiers.
• Up to 95% efficiency, low heat — natural cooling, no fan.
• Die-cast aluminum housing — one-piece, compression- and impact-resistant, with heat-sink fins on three sides.
• IP67, fully potted — waterproof and dustproof for vehicles and outdoor equipment.
• Input soft start — limits inrush current at power-on.
• Bypass function (asynchronous models) — when input exceeds the set output, input passes straight through instead of shutting off.
• Anti-backflow protection — prevents current flowing back into the input.
• Full protection — input under-voltage, over-current, short-circuit and over-temperature.

Which Y Series Housing Do I Need?

Housing Comparison

• Y1 — 120 W / 5 A. Laptops, routers, LED lighting, small 24 V or 48 V devices.
• Y2 — 120 W asynchronous or 250 W synchronous / 10 A. Car audio, CB radios, PoE switches, mid-power 24 V and 48 V loads.
• Y3 — 360 W / 15 A. Water pumps, fridges, 24 V motors and multiple loads.
• Y4 — 500 W / 20 A. Compressors, winches, inverter front-ends and the heaviest 24 V / 48 V loads.

How to Wire the Y Series Boost Converter

1. Check the voltages — your highest input voltage must stay below the output voltage.
2. Disconnect power before wiring.
3. Connect input: Red to battery positive (+), the input-side Black to battery negative (−). Use wire and a fuse rated for the input current — at 500 W from 12 V, input current exceeds 40 A.
4. Connect output: Yellow to load positive (+), the output-side Black to load negative (−). Input and output share a common ground.
5. Insulate every joint with heat-shrink tubing.
6. Mount the module with screws on a flat metal surface where air can flow over the fins.
7. Power up and measure the output before connecting the load.

 Applications

• Onboard vehicle power — run 24 V equipment in 12 V cars, vans and RVs.
• Trucks & buses — 24 V to 48 V for telematics, cameras and tail-lifts.
• Car audio & laptops — 12 V to 19 V / 24 V / 36 V.
• Industrial equipment — stable high-voltage rails for motors, pumps and controllers.
• Solar & off-grid — 12 V or 24 V battery banks to 48 V loads.
• Telecom & PoE — 12 V or 24 V to 48 V for network and radio equipment.
